About this episode
In this episode, Joe McCormack discusses the idea of speaking well of others in their absence to counter negative gossip.
It’s easy for people to talk badly about others when they aren’t there. Though nobody likes a gossip, many of us like to gossip. In this episode, I propose doing the opposite and speaking well of people that aren’t present to counter this negative urge. The post Ep. 394 – Be a gossip for good appeared first on Just Saying .
